I am in business
March 3rd 2009 06:52
Like many people, I suppose, I have dreamed about the freedom of working for myself. Self-sufficiency and the exhilaration of knowing that I will never have to answer to a boss again - how hard can it be?
Like many people, I suppose, I dreamed on without taking the plunge, intimidated and not a little afraid of the risks and the responsibility.
Call me the original ideas man. Some of my ideas are good ones (I think), some of them may even make sense from a business perspective. But I was, it appeared, destined to be an armchair entrepreneur.
All that changed recently when I met a man at a party. I learned that he had worked in IT and telecoms, areas allied to a business idea which had been fermenting, quietly, in my brain for some time.
Over a beer, I got talking about my idea. He listened, asked a couple of pointed questions, made some comments which demonstrated that he understood my idea exactly, and then said, "Let's do it."
This man has more energy than your average nuclear power station. I met him just over two weeks ago. We now have a registered business, a web page under construction, a corporate blog with its first three posts, and a plan.
The plan is never to work for a boss again.
I am in business.
What is it? Please bear with me and come on a little adventure trail to find out. The next step is here.
